Class Control

Control

A user interface control object, that drives the data displayed by a DashboardPanel.

A control can be embedded in a UI application. Controls are user interface widgets (category
pickers, range sliders, autocompleters, etc.) users interact with in order to drive the data
managed by a dashboard and the charts that are part of it. Controls collect user input and use
the information to decide which of the data the dashboard is managing should be made available to
the charts that are part of it. Given a data table, a control filters out the data that doesn't
comply with the conditions implied by its current state, and exposes the filtered data table as
an output.
